is listed as an athlete for a reason. Though he plays quarterback for Bondurant-Farrar, the 5-foot-11, 165-pound sophomore doesn’t project to the position at the next level, but boy, he shows some encouraging things on the football field. A slippery runner, Vanderlinden was a big play waiting to happen when he took off with the rock. Able to slip through the tiniest of creases and take off for big gains or touchdowns, Vanderlinden shows potential either as a slot receiver or as a defensive back at the next level, assuming he continues to put on weight. As shifty as they come, Vanderlinden can cut on a dime and make a linebacker or defensive back miss, turning a third and long passing down to a back-breaking first down for the offense.
